Monarchical power
Monarchical power is the authority held by a king, queen, or emperor to govern a country. Historically, monarchs often had significant control over laws, military, and policies, sometimes ruling with absolute power or within a constitutional framework. While absolute monarchs make decisions without approval, constitutional monarchs often serve as ceremonial figures under a parliamentary system. The essence of monarchical power lies in inherited or centralized authority, shaping national governance, laws, and tradition, and serves as a symbol of continuity and stability within a state.
